Vtiger extensions March news are here!
Dear Vtiger community, the first 3 months passed very quickly.
We believe you had a nice Easter with your loved ones.
Our company is constantly advancing and we strive to bring the best possible extensions and improvements to Vtiger systems for current and new customers.
The month of March brought the most enhancements and fixes for our most popular extension PDF Maker.
We haven’t left the other extensions behind either, and you can see the new fixes and enhancements below in the post:
The enhancements and bug fixes for PDF Maker can be found below:
- Added new feature Statement of Account to PDF via custom function: [CUSTOMFUNCTION|getAccountStatement|$ACCOUNTS_CRMID$|CUSTOMFUNCTION]
Preview of the Statement in the template:
- Added alert label before uninstalling PDF Maker that your templates will be lost when you uninstall PDF Maker:
- $PDF_SIGNATURE$ variable will be no longer available to insert into the template, when there is no PDF Signature extension installed on your Vtiger CRM system
- $COMPANY_LOGO$ variable will now load company or Multi Company (when installed) logos properly
- Fixed compatibility issues with PDF Signature extension where in some rare cases, users received an hmtl coded email
- Fixed issue where in some rare cases, users received error 500 when tried to save the template (caused by wrong database SQL mode)
- Ffixed issue where “Send Email” action did not fill TO field, now the TO field will be filled with Primary Email of record
(apply only if there is not installed Email Maker extension) - other small minor bugs and improvements
Also for PDF Maker 6.x version, we had a one fix in March:

Same as for PDF Maker we added a label to alert users that templates will be lost when uninstalling the module:
- Added warning when uninstalling the module will delete all templates

Based on our customers requests, we added the option to also mention Groups via our extension.
Also, we added ability to change the language format in the notification emails.
See the changes in detail below:
- Added option to mention Groups:

– xx_xx = language folder, for example de_de
– labels to change are: LBL_MENTIONED_YOU and LBL_CLICK_HERE
– the received email will be translated in the same language as the user has set in Vtiger CRM - Fixed issue where when replying to a comment it was not possible to mark more users by clicking

Some customers reported problems with exporting so we had to resolve these:
- Fixed issue where products with same name were exported just once (one row = one product)
- Small minor improvements
Note: If you want to export products, you must select at least one field for export that has information about the product, otherwise export will include wrong data.

Button to create related records in the widget:
Note: With the release of Widget Management we also released Field Mapping new version.
We resolved the problem which appeared again in the latest version. This problem was known from two versions before, so we had to fix it.
